Lily Allen Pickles Her Fancy For Cricket And Onions
So Lily Allen, Britain’s very own Queen of Pop, has expressed her love of cricket – and in particular England fast bowler Graham Onions – via Twitter.
Lily Tweeted her Onions desire on Monday whilst keeping tabs on the fifth and final day’s play of the third Ashes Test.
Allen cheekily tweeted: ‘i think i fancy Graham Onions more than Freddie now. i’ve heard he goes for days… either 3 or five…hehe.’
Twitter is seemingly taking over the universe and has been the first medium to break news on a number of occasions. There was confusion amongst many US Twits on Friday as #Ashes became one of the most popular trending topics; the excitement of this most fiercely contested of Test match series’ was totally lost on the yanks.
And talking of Onions and Twitter in the same (smelly) breath, this bit of Twittering follows on from the wittery (or should that be Twittery?) of one bright spark who created the Ashes related hashtag, #Punions.
As puns regarding Onions started to circle the Twitterverse during the Durham paceman’s blistering Friday morning wicket spree, #Punions were flowing aplenty. Read here for more…
Allen also divulged her next career move when Tweeting: ‘i think i might try and get into Cricket commentary once i’ve finished singing,’ she concluded.
BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew Tweeted Allen, offering his services: ‘@lilyroseallen If you want some cricket commentary lessons, give me a shout! aggers.’
Rumour has it, Aggers had been notified of Allen’s interest in commentary by @RootyJ – who, according to Sky Sports News’ cricket correspondent, Adam Leventhal, is the creator of #Punions.
The power of Twitter eh!
Expect the, ahem, strength of #Punions to continue during the fourth Ashes Test which starts on Friday. It’s all good fun and is another example of the beauty of Twitter, maybe Allen can win over Onions with her #Punions?
